Hot Cocoa Party

Hot Cocoa Party

Since the chilly weather is sticking around for a while, I decided to have a little after school hot cocoa “party” for the boys. My youngest son will drink hot cocoa, not matter what the weather is like, so Santa brought all of the boys a warming milk frother. It perfectly warms the milk and froths it just like fancy coffee shops!

If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!

The Table

One afternoon, just before school got out, I warmed up a few pitchers of milk in the frother. Once the milk was warm and frothy, I poured it into some vintage style thermoses. I placed the thermoses on a table next to the fire place. The milk stayed at the perfect temp as my boys rolled in from school, and it was easy to refill the the thermoses as I needed to.

I filled my wooden three tiered tray with a variety of cocoa toppings, and decor. Next to the tray, I added a flocked evergreen tree, and a few canisters of hot cocoa. {Totally not sponsored; Williams Sonoma has the very best hot cocoa mix. It is literally shaved chocolate!} My wooden tiered tray was decorated with plaid decor, disposable hot beverage cups, a DIY hot cocoa sign, and maybe a few mini bottles of the adults favorite hot cocoa add in, Jackson Morgan Cream.

Since my kids are always ravenous after school, I put out a tray of cookies for the boys to nibble on while they sipped their cocoa and did their homework.

Stay Cozy

Finally, I set a small table next to the fireplace and I filled a small bucket with cozy blankets. I wanted the blankets to be toasty and warm, without putting them in the dryer, and this definitely did the trick!
